This completely depends on location and time of day.

I used to commute from the Manasquan area to Princeton. Door to door it should be around 45 minutes , but depending on the time of day, it could be 1.5 hours easily... if you have flex in the work schedule it's very helpful....

Says the person with two working legs.👍 It’s the old saying about walking a mile in someone else’s shoes. I didn’t realize how absofuckinglutely difficult it is to get around until I lost the use of a leg and both hands are occupied holding crutches. Don’t worry though. If you’re lucky, you’ll live long enough to experience some form of mobility disability and you’ll think back to this post and have an “aha!” moment.

FFFFFFF that lot!! I had to go there to wait for my sister's flight to arrive, and I swear to God by the time I got there, she was texting me that she was through customs. I hate that airport. I ALMOST prefer when she flies from JFK but that ride is brutal traffic. The airport itself is 10x easier to navigate though.

A north Jersey to Central Jersey commute is actually interesting because you're going against the flow of traffic. That being said, there's a lot of factors going into this.

My shortest commute has been 15 minutes, my longest has been an hour plus. Commutes can be easier if it's just "get on the turnpike and go", but it varies.

Commuting times in Jersey are . . . complicated. It's the most densely populated state, and there is a huge volume of commuter traffic, particularly from the suburbs to the big cities (or closer to the cities). And "North Jersey" and "Central Jersey" are rather vague. Commuting from Warren County to Mercer County is a whole lot different than commuting from Essex to Middlesex, particularly during rush hour.

So, if you really want an accurate assessment of what your commuting times would be like, you probably need to provide more-specific data.

That’ll depend on your points of origin and destination. If both locations are very close along the Parkway or Turnpike, that’s a much different drive than if you have to cut laterally across the state just to get to and from the tollroad.

It also depends on traffic. My personal commute can be an hour-ten on a good day, and two hours on a bad day.
